Payment Plans - Budget Billing

Balance your electric bills so your payments are the same each month.

Seasonal temperature changes mean your heating and air conditioning systems use more electricity in the summer and winter, increasing your electric bill. By using the Budget Billing Plan, you can balance your electric bills so your payments are the same each month.

How Budget Billing works

The plan works by averaging your current month and last 11 months of electric use. Your bill will be this average amount each month until the anniversary of the date when you signed up for Budget Billing. On your sign-up anniversary, your average will be recalculated to determine your new Budget Billing amount. Your new Budget Billing average will take into account your current and last 11 months of electric use, as well as any adjustment needed to compensate for higher or lower use during your previous Budget Billing period. An increase could be caused by extreme changes in weather conditions, the addition of appliances or an increase in the number of residents in your home. A decrease could be caused by the installation of a new heat pump or energy efficiency improvements in your home, such as new windows or added insulation.
